My 1st ever Dark Blue one.

Very nice! This darkest shade really suits the Cortina better than both lighter shades..........

Are these htf Tim as yours is only the second one I've seen including my own one

They must be Reg as I've had a few of these but never one as dark as this, maybe Mick or other members would know more

It is HTF, I am still looking for a dark Blue Cortina.. That one looks in superb conditions Tim, nice find mate.

To be fair it's got 2 small chips on the door frame near the roof and one of the window struts was not cast correctly but I would still quite happily grade it at C-9 +

Actually found it in a Matchbox Traffic game on eBay, item no. 251492355572

Nice one Tim, I've got one and they're not easy to find. There's a mid blue which can fool you depending on the light in the photo.

Hi John and Tim,

Yes, there must be three distinct shades of blue - I have a couple of the normal blue ones, and one that is definitely much darker. It is not, however, anything like as dark as Tim's example.

Cheers,
Gavin

How does Tim´s dark blue Cortina compare in a photo side by side with the darker of the 2 shades found on the the SF64 MG? This looks to be the same shade as my darkest example which I got from Dr jazz a year ago. there are 3 shades of Cortina.
